Speculative Wests
2024 Thomas J. Lyon Book Award Winner, sponsored by Western Literature Association Looking across the cultural landscape of the twenty-first century, its literature, film, television, comic books, and other media, we can see multiple examples of what Shelley S. Rees calls a "changeling western," what others have called "weird westerns," and what Michael K. Johnson refers to as "speculative westerns"--that is, hybrid western forms created by merging the western with one or more speculative genres or subgenres, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, and alternate history. Speculative Wests investigates both speculative westerns and other speculative texts that feature western settings. Ju...

This Is Not a Science Fiction Textbook
Science fiction as a vital bridge between technoscience and culture, an early warning system, a method for imagining differently. In the new millennium, science fiction has moved from the margins to the mainstream. At the same time, it has undergone massive transformations. No longer can it be derided as indigestible technobabble or escapist trash or a white man’s playground—not that it ever really was. Sf is rich and diverse, serious, and fun. A vital bridge between technoscience and culture, it is an early warning system, a method for imagining differently, and a way of experiencing our increasingly science-fictional world. It is the vernacular of the 21st century. This Is Not A Scienc...
Gli dei di giada e ombra
L'ETÀ DEL JAZZ È ALL'APICE del suo splendore, ma la diciottenne Casiopea Tun non ha tempo da dedicare allo swing; è troppo impegnata a spazzare i pavimenti nella dimora del ricchissimo nonno nel Sud del Messico. Desidera da sempre una vita diversa, lontana da quel polveroso villaggio: una vita che sia davvero solo sua. Un sogno, però, che pare irrealizzabile fino al giorno in cui, aprendo per caso un baule di legno custodito nella camera del nonno, libera inavvertitamente lo spirito del Signore delle Ombre - il dio maya della morte -, che le chiede di aiutarlo a riconquistare il trono usurpato dal fratello. Se Casiopea fallirà nell'impresa, andrà incontro alla morte. Se invece riuscirà, il suo sogno potrà finalmente avverarsi. Assieme a questo dio incredibilmente bello, e armata unicamente della propria intelligenza, la ragazza intraprende una fantasmagorica avventura che la condurrà nelle foreste dello Yucatán, nella sfavillante Città del Messico e, più oltre ancora, fin negli abissi dell'Oltretomba maya.
Las siete puertas del infierno
Siglo XII. La intrépida Casiopea, una joven aguerrida, emprende un peligroso viaje por Tierra Santa para devolver el honor a su difunto padre. Una atractiva epopeya fantástica.
